New porsche 911 gt3 rs

Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the official importer of Porsche vehicles in Malaysia, had recently unveiled the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo. What could be billed as Porsche's purest form of 911 is now in town and the retail base price for the new 911 GT3 RS starts from RM 2,230,000. This figure includes a four-year warranty and includes all applicable duties, except registration fee, road tax and insurance. This latest release is the second GT road-approved sports car launched here after the recently unveiling of the 911 GT2 RS. The 911 GT3 RS something that sits in between a circuit race car and a road car (it has a half cage as a clue to its potential). It gets a little bit more than the standard 911 but it also strips off a lot more weight by means of losing some soundproofing and using more exotic materials in its build. It is more raw that most roadgoing 911 with the exception of its more powerful sibling, the GT2 variants which … [Read more...] about The New Porsche 911 GT3 RS & the New Porsche Cayenne Turbo Makes Their Malaysian Debut

We all know that the combination of the iconic Nurburgring and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a match made in heaven, and the same applies to the latest model. One would be excused for not knowing that the Nordschleife (North Loop) used to have a smaller sibling, the now-gone Sudschleife (South Loop). Nurburgring Sudchleife was shorter, with a length of 4.4 miles (7.7km), but arguably even more terrifying than its bigger brother. The circuit was fast, but the room for error was almost non-existent, thanks to its narrow design and the trees sitting close to the tarmac. The latest iteration of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is powered by a high-revving, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat six that makes 512hp (520PS) and is paired to a seven-speed PDK transmission. Porsche reckons it’ll do 0-62mph (100km/h) in 3.2 seconds and hit 193 mph (312 km/h) flat out. The suspension is rose-jointed and the springs are firmer than the previous version, while the front bonnet gets the same NACA … [Read more...] about New Porsche 911 GT3 RS Feels Right At Home In The ‘Unknown’ Nurburgring

Porsche was able to set a new lap record with the 991.2 GT3 RS at the Nurburgring with the kind help of the GM development team that had booked the track for testing the Corvette ZR1. Apparently Porsche had forgot to book the track in advance so instead, they just showed up there that morning, only to find out that the Corvette team had booked the Nurburgring for the whole day. “We went there, pretty much the first to arrive at the track, with an official and two stop watches,” Oliver Berg, Porsche GT product manager, told Motormouth. “Most of the engineers here know each other,” said Berg, “Because they’re always testing at the Nürburgring, and there is real camaraderie between them, a nice atmosphere.” The Corvette team gave the Weissach boys an hour of their track time in order to attempt a new lap record with the 991.2 GT3 RS. As it turned out, Porsche didn’t need an hour to start posting lap times in the sixes. “When we … [Read more...] about How GM Helped The New Porsche 911 GT3 RS Set A New Record ‘Ring Lap

Porsche and the Nurburgring go hand in hand when it comes to developing and showcasing sports cars made by the former. The latest in this line is the new 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which just set a lap time of 06 min 56.4 sec through the Nurburgring-Nordschleife circuit in Germany. And why wouldn't it? The 911 GT3 RS is the most powerful 911 with a naturally-aspirated engine. Known as the 'Green Hell', the challenging circuit measures 20.6km in length. The lap time was set by Porsche works race driver Kevin Estre. The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS comes powered by a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six engine producing 527PS and 469Nm. In fact, the 2018 Porsche GT3 RS bested its predecessor's lap time by a massive 24 seconds, when it took to the legendary circuit on April 16, 2018. This propels the GT3 RS from standstill to 100kmph in a claimed 3.2 seconds, and onwards to a top speed of 312kmph. The Porsche GT3 RS, however, is not the fastest 911 around the Nurburgring. That honour was claimed … [Read more...] about New Porsche 911 GT3 RS laps the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes
